NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti Mining Review

NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti Mining Review

The line of GPUs coming from Nvidia certainly has been experiencing some major upgrades. Just as everyone thought, the newer model that was supposed to come out came out on March 10th and it was priced at $699.00. The Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Ti certainly had everyone’s hopes up, and everyone seemed to receive the news of its release very well within the mining community. Of course, the test results as far as the performance goes seem to look very promising also.

This model happens to be one of the few to come from the Nvidia line to have the GDDR5X memory (where as the others of the same line are equipped with the more commonly used GDDR5). Fortunately for all of us, the GDDR5X standard is one that is able to support 10Gbit/s data rates, this is apparent by the way the GPU handles the mining tasks.

Power Usage with The Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Ti

As for the power usage of this GPU, the limit is 250W, according to the specs, when it comes to the non-synthetic operations. For those that are wanting to increase their power limit, there is also the option of the Founders Edition, and this will give the users a chance to increase the limit by 20%. Basically, that means that users who choose to go down that path will be seeing a limit that is 300W, of course, that would mean that more cooling would be needed as well.

The Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Ti is able to be underclocked. Unfortunately for users, there is no available data that is solid for underclocking at this time. However, the more experienced users out there have already stated that there is some potential with this one.
Cooling for The Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Ti

The Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Ti, unfortunately for users, only comes with one cooler so far. However, none has said anything bad in terms of cooling just yet. As of right now, everyone is recommending that users lock the fan speeds manually at 100%, so that they are able to stop thermal throttling.

The Performance

So far, users have all noticed that the Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Ti is not able to perform at equal rates for all of the algorithms, and this is because of the structure of the GPU and also because of the memory clock that is 11 GHz.
Final Thoughts on The NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1080 Ti

Because of the great amount of CUDA cores with the Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Ti, users are quickly realizing that this GPU certainly does have the ability to become one of the higher ranking for ETHand ZEC mining. Most will notice that the CPU is new and the drivers that are currently there now are probably very raw. There are some that believe that this model has the opportunity to be something great, and certainly will be if the release of new drivers will aid in getting over the problems that have been happening for the miner in terms of the mining algorithms.
